All graduates had continuous access to the online survey for those time periods.

Non-respondents received multiple requests to complete the survey during that time.

Going where?
Everyone
wants to know
what
grads do after the degree.

Annual survey for:

• ALL bachelor's and associate's degree graduates.• To learn about your career planning during college.• To learn your after-graduation
plans.

What if plans were not certain?

• That could be stated on the survey.
Responses could be updated as long as the survey was open. Respondents were notified of the opportunity to update responses.

Fast, user-friendly survey:

Fast, easy.

• It took just 30 seconds to answer the first, most important question.• Then respondents could decide whether to answer other questions.• NO error messages were given for skipped items.• It took grads an average of about five minutes to complete the survey.

Individual responses are confidential:

We do not publish or share names or individual responses  as you see in the
annual Post-Graduation Report
 we list data and facts by major, college, university. Individual identifying information is not disclosed.

Why we asked:

1. The information is valuable  to academic departments, to employers who
hire Virginia Tech graduates, and especially to current and future students and their parents. Data from the survey is used to respond to a wide variety of internal and external requests for information. The past Reports are online viewable by anyone.

2. Federal law requires that universities provide certain information to current and prospective students:

Because you're a part of the university community.
Current and future students have the same questions you have.

Give something to help
those who follow you.

Because past graduates responded, we can tell you:
- What graduates of your major are doing after graduation.
- Graduate/professional schools attended by grads of your major.
- Employers, job titles and locations of graduates.
- Salary data.
- What grads wished they had done differently.
All this, and more is in the annual Post-Graduation Report.
Some form of this survey has been conducted since the 1970s.
